Jake Gyllenhaal | Son of Stephen Gyllenhaal and Naomi Foner

BAFTA Award Winner Jake Gyllenhaal started acting when he was still a child. As the son of director Stephan Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner, it was no coincidence that Jake got attracted to the limelight. The early 2000s saw Jake’s fame shoot up when he starred in The Day After Tomorrow, followed by Brokeback Mountain in 2005. The latter is what earned him a BAFTA. If not doing movies, Jake could also be seen performing on stage, with Constellations being one of his famous works.

Jake’s parents have a combined net worth of around $5 million today, and during the time he was born, they probably had more. This money was the combination of both good money management skills and their significant income from their projects. Jake now has more wealth than his parents, with approximately $80 million in the bank, but he has never forgotten his roots.
